AURAL CHROMOGRAPHY

This is my music blog. All the mixes I have ever done and will ever do will be here. I made this because I have been making mixes with stories for a long time and giving them to folks almost as long. I wanted a repository of everything so people can find them again. Along the way, this turned into my own life story. Most of the mixes in here are CONTINUOUS like they have been since back in the analog tape days. Often times I splice in audio overtop or intermixed in the music so it’s hard to lift out of the track and "steal", but the effect is one of storytelling rather than interruptive. Share with friends!

This mix is dedicated to all the Manic Pixie Dream Girls that grew up and learned they wanted to be a witch and summon things and cast spells and invoke the four corners instead.
